Controversy Surrounding Cam Newton
Cam Newton is having a hell of a year, heisman runner, etc, however, friends of the program could be involved in his run.
Supposedly when Cam Newton spent a year in junior college(after being booted from Florida) his re-recruiting is what is in question. Here it is:
former teammate is Kenny Rogers, who played at Mississippi State from 1982-85. Rogers operates a Chicago-based company called Elite Football Preparation, which holds camps in Chicago, Alabama and Mississippi. A Lexis search for that business lists Kenneth Rogers as the contact and his title as “agent.” A Birmingham News story from 2008 said Elite Football Preparation “matches high school athletes with college programs.”
Bond said the former teammate told him other schools had already offered $200,000, but since Newton really liked Mississippi State and already had a relationship with head coach Dan Mullen dating to when both were at Florida, Mississippi State could get him for $180,000.
Basically this guy told Miss St., you give me the money and I give you the kid. Miss St. didn't comply and now Cam Newton is at Auburn. The investigation is now hard pressed against Auburn, seeing if they gave Kenny Rogers the money.
The only reason this would suck is that we wouldn't be able to watch Cam Newton play, I hope this blows by and we see a great ending to college football.
